A heartbreaking tragedy has unfolded in Texas. After days of relentless rain, devastating floods have claimed the lives of at least 52 people, 15 of them children. As of now, 57 individuals are still missing. Some of the young girls who died were attending a Christian camp known as Camp Mystic when the floodwaters came. What can you say in a moment like this? There is no greater pain than for a parent to lose a child. That’s not theory for me—it’s personal. Our son Christopher was unexpectedly called home to Heaven 16 years ago, and the grief still runs deep. Sometimes the most honest and comforting thing you can say is simply, “I’m so sorry. There are no words.” As Christians, we can be quick to try to explain the unexplainable. But I’ve learned that when I don’t know why, I pivot back to Who. And by “Who,” I mean—Who do we turn to in moments like this? We must turn to God. He is our ultimate source of strength. “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” —Psalm 34:18 To those grieving parents, I would say this: Your child is safely in the arms of Jesus in Heaven. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” —Matthew 19:14 And if you have put your faith in Christ, you will see them again. “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout… and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them… and thus we shall always be with the Lord.” —1 Thessalonians 4:16–17 Your children are not only part of your past—they are also part of your future. So yes, mourn. Grieve. Cry your heart out. And cry out to God—He will be there for you. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” —Psalm 46:1 Let’s continue to pray for the first responders still searching for the missing—and for the families facing unthinkable sorrow. Lord, be near.
